AutoMod

AutoMod, developed by Simcore, is a simulation software that aims to model and simulate logistic, handling, and distribution systems. According to the vendor, this tool allows organizations of various sizes to optimize their equipment, personnel, and resources, potentially reducing investment costs and operating expenses while increasing profits and facility utilization. AutoMod is said to be suitable for professionals in logistics and supply chain management, industrial engineers, manufacturing and production managers, warehouse and distribution center managers, transportation and logistics professionals, as well as industries in agro-food, automotive, energy, education, public transport, healthcare, and services sectors.

Key Features

Simulation 3-D: AutoMod offers advanced 3-D simulation capabilities, allowing users to create models of any size or level of detail. The vendor claims that AutoMod provides precise simulation of both manual and automated handling systems, providing a realistic visual representation of the operation. This feature is said to enhance understanding and communication between management, production, and engineering teams.

Graphics 3-D: AutoMod provides realistic 3-D animations to facilitate the understanding of simulation models and the communication of new ideas or possibilities. According to the vendor, project teams can analyze and discuss various scenarios by examining the model from different angles and scales during model operation. The powerful graphical interface is claimed to accurately capture physical constraints in 3-D, such as distance, size, and space, improving communication between different teams.

Precise Statistics: AutoMod automatically generates statistical reports and graphs, providing information on equipment utilization, stock levels, and total time spent in the facility by parts. The vendor states that these statistical reports can be displayed as tables or activity graphs, enhancing system understanding and enabling comparison with other results.

Handling: AutoMod is designed to simulate both manual flows and automated handling systems with exceptional precision. The software includes professional handling models developed based on global experience in the automated industry. According to the vendor, AutoMod includes modules for conveyors, vehicle systems, swings, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), and lifting bridges. The software automates the assembly and routing of loads on conveyors and movement systems, reducing modeling workload and increasing model accuracy.

Infinite Flexibility: AutoMod offers flexibility to simulate a wide range of applications, from manual operations to complex logistics systems. The vendor claims that this flexibility allows users to accurately model and simulate their unique processes, helping them make informed decisions and optimize their systems.
